How to Install Font Awesome in Laravel Mix

To install font-awesome you first should install it with npm. So in your project root directory type:

npm install font-awesome --save

(Of course I assume you have node.js and npm already installed. And you've done npm install in your projects root directory)

Then edit the resources/assets/sass/app.scss file and add at the top this line:

@import "node_modules/font-awesome/scss/font-awesome.scss";

Now you can do for example:

npm run dev

This builds unminified versions of the resources in the correct folders. If you wanted to minify them, you would instead run:

npm run production

And then you can use the font.

For Font Awesome 5(webfont with css) and Laravel mixin add package for font awesome 5

npm i --save @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

And import font awesome scss in app.scss or your custom scss file

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';

compile your assets npm run dev or npm run production and include your compiled css into layout

Build your webpack.mix.js configuration.

mix.setPublicPath('public');mix.setResourceRoot('../');mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Install the latest free version of Font Awesome via a package manager like npm.

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free --save-dev

This dependency entry should now be in your package.json.

// Font Awesome"devDependencies": {    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^5.15.3",

In your main SCSS file /resources/assets/sass/app.scss, import one or more styles.

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';

Compile your assets and produce a minified, production-ready build.

npm run production

Finally, reference your generated CSS file in your Blade template/layout.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}">
